After counting, the total value of this batch of goods did not exceed Zhang Renjie's expectations, and it could be exchanged for about 110,000 taels of silver. Most of it was gold, more than 30,000 taels, which alone amounted to half of the total value. There were also 20,000 taels of silver tickets, each with a denomination of 500 taels, which were placed separately in a small box. Each of those jewels was worth seven or eight thousand taels in the end, and the rest was more than thirty thousand taels of silver.
The 30,000 taels of gold are only a little more than a ton, and the volume is about the same as a large suitcase used by a student to go to school, which does not take up space, but it is still divided into several small boxes. The same is true of silver, which is contained in seven small mahogany boxes. A few people had a bit of a hard time and transferred all the contents out.
Busy and busy, Zhang Renjie didn't sleep that night. It's getting dark, and I can't sleep anymore. However, for him, who was born in a special combat team, he still has such stamina, so he washed his face with cold water and was energetic again.
"Battalion commander, you can go sleep for a while, now we are here!" Although Dong Biao and the soldiers of the first company slept late, they also slept for four hours, and their spirits had completely recovered. This time he replaced the soldiers of the second company, Dong Biao knew that Zhang Renjie had not slept all night, and came to him and said.
Zhang Renjie had just finished washing his face, and he was shocked by the cold water, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. "Do you think I need to sleep? Don't talk nonsense, there's something else to do. ”
Zhang Renjie took Dong Biao to the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and at this moment there were three more carriages at the door, and on the carriage was the most important trophy of last night. Most of the gold, jewelry, and so on were loaded into the cart, but a few boxes of silver were left behind. It is impossible to suppress the bandits at one time without any gain, and some of these things are also divided into Huai'an Mansion, and they have to be dotted up and down. He pointed to the three carriages and said, "See? Now, let a platoon of soldiers escort these three carriages back to the Dusi Yamen, and there must be no mistakes, understand? ”
"Understood!" After listening to Zhang Renjie's instructions, Dong Biao also guessed what was on the carriage. "My subordinates will give the order immediately!"
"Wait, by the way, inform the stone, and ask him to have someone destroy the "smoke" soil that was found in the backyard for me. There is another thing that you need to do, well, that is, the women in the backyard who are being held by bandits, you can give them twenty taels of silver each and send them home. They are pitiful enough, but remember, don't spread all the news, and let those women think about what to say when they go home! ”
Dong Biao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Battalion commander, you said okay, I understand!" ”
"Just know what to do, go on errands, after the matter is dealt with, there are other things to do."
This is the first time they have encountered this matter, and there was no capturing of women in the Sea Dragon King's lair last time. The main reason is not that those bandits are good or not, but that the place is separated from Jiangba Town, which is known as Nanjing in the Soviet Union, and there are boats and prostitutes on the lake. The courtyard is nearby, and they are stationed in the martial arts village, so the sea dragon king is not allowed to take the woman back to the village.
Zhang Renjie didn't stay in one place, and when he came to the backyard, he saw Dong Biao comforting those women. Zhang Renjie probably counted it, and there were thirty-nine people in total. Before he got closer, he heard the low crying of the women, Zhang Renjie was silent for a long time, and he had no good way to do it, so he had to stop and didn't go over. Although Dong Biao was comforting in front, he obviously had no such experience, and he seemed a little in a hurry. Zhang Renzhi, the second platoon leader, was a person who came over, and he was a good at coaxing his daughter-in-law at home, so he took the initiative to step forward and began to ask about the plans of these women.
Most of these women still want to go home, but many of them are afraid to go home, or they are confused about the future. There have been many such things in the countryside before, and none of the women who have been captured by bandits are innocent, and they will suffer a lot of white eyes after thinking about it. There are also two women who do not want to go back, according to them, their homes have been looted by bandits, their parents and brothers have been killed, and there is nowhere to go.
One of the women said that he was pregnant with a child and did not dare to return to his hometown. Zhang Renjie also remembered that there was once such a woman in Shunhe Town, not far from Wharf Town, who secretly ran back to her hometown after being taken captive, but she was pregnant with a child. But now Zhang Renjie doesn't want to see such a tragedy happen, but since Dong Biao and Zhang Renzhi have been doing their best, and they have also sent the money down, they can help Zhang Renjie feel that he has done his best. As for how they will live in the future, he really can't control it.
Such a big movement in the Big Buddha Temple was known to the entire Dongkan Town after dawn. Countless people flocked to see what was going on. For the common people, the huge temple here has become a senior bandit's cave, which is really unacceptable to teach them for a while. This Dongkan town is also a big town, the towns and villages in the north of Funing basically return to the Big Buddha Temple to enter the incense Buddha, although Zhang Renjie has asked people to post notices outside the temple, but more than ninety percent of the people do not believe it at all. In contrast, the credibility of this government is far worse than that of the monks of the monastery. Many people thought that the government had taken a fancy to the temple's incense money and wanted to find an excuse to rob the money.
"Battalion commander, it's not good, thousands of people have gathered outside the temple now, densely surrounding the Big Buddha Temple, and many people at the main gate are still shouting that there is no master!" Zhang Rentie, the leader of the fifth platoon stationed in the front yard of the temple, hurriedly ran over to report for duty.
Zhang Renjie asked, "Who is the master without a master?" ”
"Hey, I asked the bandits in the front hall, without the master, he is the old hammer head of the big boss, this guy has a kind eyebrow, and he can really fool people!"
Zhang Renjie narrowed his eyes, he also felt that this matter was a little tricky.
"Battalion commander, hurry up and get an idea, the soldiers standing at the gate have been forced to retreat to the courtyard. There are ordinary people out there, and the brothers can't do anything to them! Zhang Rentie was also very anxious, the crowd outside was surging, this matter was not handled well, and they were afraid that the Renzi camp would be miserable. It doesn't matter if they are thrown rotten eggs or stones, the point is that this matter is likely to cause a civil uprising. Even if nothing major happened, the reputation of their Renzi camp would be completely ruined.
"Don't worry, how could these people come so quickly?" Zhang Renjie asked.
Zhang Rentie scratched his scalp: "I don't know the battalion commander, when the platoon left, there were not a few people at the door, but it was less than half an hour, and the people were gathering more and more, and right now, there were still people rushing over." If I drag it out, in another half an hour, I'm afraid that the people of the surrounding towns and villages will come over. ”
"Woo woo~~~"
Zhang Renjie was also in a hurry, and suddenly he heard two women squatting on the ground crying not far from the backyard. The two women had their families killed by bandits and had nowhere to go, so they didn't want to leave after giving the money, so they kept squatting on the ground and crying. "Yes, Tiezi, you go to the front yard first, give me a top first, by the way, escort the rest of the bandits to the front yard door and wait, and put some of the bandits' corpses over, I will be useful in a while!"
"Yes!" Zhang Rentie got the order and immediately turned around and went back.
Zhang Renjie also walked a few steps quickly to the two crying women. "Two girls, I am the battalion officer of the Renzi Battalion, Zhang Renjie, the fourth grade of the imperial court. Now that our Renzi camp has encountered ** annoyance, please ask the two girls to help! ”
The two women were startled when they saw Zhang Renjie standing in front of them with a hula, and after listening to Zhang Renjie's words, the two hurriedly stood up and returned the salute with fear. These two people are not very old, they are only ten ** years old, and the woman in the green shirt replied: "The folk girl has seen the adult, and the adult has avenged our sisters, but if there is something that can help the adult, please feel free to speak!" ”
"This" At this time, Zhang Renjie was embarrassed to speak. He wanted the two women to go to the front yard to testify to the Renzi Camp and point out that these bald bandits were all righteous bandits. But when he thought that this would damage the reputation of the two, he hesitated.
"Your Excellency, don't be embarrassed, just now our sisters also heard the words of the official, the situation outside is tense, I am willing to go out to testify for your lordship. But the little woman has two requests! ”
"Please!" Zhang Renjie did not hesitate at this time.
The woman in the green shirt suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "First, I want all the bandits to die, not to be put in prison!" ”
